OlderAngelina Jolie’s Mom Dies at 56
Marcheline Bertrand, French actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, died of ovarian cancer in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after a 7.5 yearlong battle with cancer. (Age 56 as reported by IMDB.) Brad Pitt, Angie, and her older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital yesterday at the time Bertrand passed away.
Bertrand raised Angie and James after divorcing their father, Jon Voight (Angie was just a toddler at the time).
Our prayers and best wishes to the Pitt and Jolie family. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

ITA about the loving energy, they said private funeral which usually is invite only. Even though they shared children, Jon Voight was not really apart of Marcheline’s life, so he may not be on the list. When someone has been fighting a disease for some time, many times they prepare the arrangements in advance. So whatever happens I’m sure it will be as she wished. They are all in my prayers
My heart just dropped to my feet when I read that headline. I too was under the impression she was beating it. Absolutely heartbreaking. I agree with the early poster who said that Marcheline felt she could finally let go because she lived to see Angie loved as she needed and deserved to be loved; by a true partner, who will take care of her as he would himself. I will be holding the entire family in my heart.
On New Year’s Day, we went to the funeral of my father’s cousin’s wife. We didn’t even know she’d been ill, she had been out to dinner on Christmas Day. Colon Cancer. Only her spouse and kids knew. She wanted it that way. My dad and her husband grew up as brothers; she should have at least let him know, but, that was HER wish. I am sure Marcheline wanted Angie to live her life with Brad and look to the future. At least she was there to say “goodbye”. Such a heartbreak - I know from my cousins, forwarning doesn’t help the reality at all.
Bless you all and thank you for the address for donations.
This news is so shoking after what Angelina said on the Larry King interview about her Mom doing better. My condolences to Angelina, her brother and her entire family (Brad, the kids, Brad’s family and their close friends). I work at the MD Anderson Center in Houston and this disease just messes up so many systems in the body, that the body just ends up giving. But God is the Creator and he has plans and missions for all of us and we should not doubt what they are.
To all the Fans, thanks a lot for your continuous support and prayers for our great heroine, Angelina.
I also want to add when someone you love has a terminal illness you go from praying they get better to praying that their suffering ends. Marcheline is in a better place and she no longer is in pain. Angelina and her family should find comfort in that.

My condolences to Angie, James and the rest of the family.
I know what they are going through…I lost my mother 14 years ago, and my father almost 6 years ago…They left the earth but they always live in me. Everyday of my life I fell they are with me…
Thank God, Angie has Brad….
We love you Angie. I´ll pray for you.
My heart goes out to Angie and her brother. I don’t care how old you are you are never prepared for the loss of a parent. I’m just glad that Angie and James have each other and can go through this together.
I think we should all send Angelina letters or cards of support and admiration, especially letters of support re: her mother.
She most likely gets hate mail from all the jealous haters out there and of course Maniston the Chin probably sends several every day. I posted her contact address earlier but here it is again.

I am sure that Marcheline was very happy to know in her heart that her daughter will be well taken care of by Brad. Knowing that and having three beautiful grandchildren must have made her last days a bit easier. Now, she is free of pain and in the arms of God.
“Ms. Bertrand, a Canadian-American actress of Spanish and Québécois descent, died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Jolie’s older brother James Haven were at the hospital yesterday.”
Please stop, Susie. I don’t think JA is that bad.
I’m not a normal poster but I could not let this pass without expressing my deepest condolences to Angie, James and the Jolie-Pitt family during this time. RIP, Ms. Bertrand.
My sincerest sympathy to Angelina, James & their immediate family for their loss. I feel for them especially Angelina whom I love as an actor & a person. Life goes on & hopefully the future holds fulfillment & more love & respect. Being one of Brad & Angelina’s fan it really affects me somewhat. But I will just give prayers for marcheline & maybe send donation to the Cedar Sinai Hospital. I think they will greatly appreciate it.
WHY WOULD YOU BRING ANISTON UP IN THIS THREAD ? TAKE YOUR HATE SOMEWHERE ELSE!

I am so releived that AJ has Brad in her life to support her and that she is not alone during this horrible time.
Dropping back in to say that I don’t think that even her brother who’ himself is in need of comfort just as much as Angelina is, couldn’t provide what Brad and her kids are.
^^^^
Brad as described by Angelina is someone who takes serious his role in her life, making sure she makes time to stop and smell the flora, and he makes time for them to swim outside of the fishbowl, and it’s him whose there with her when the one other person in her life who always championed Angelina, passes from her life.
It’s so sad and amazing all at once, and I just keep thinking about how NOTrandom it feels. I’m not speaking in romantic terms when I say I see Brad as the only person who is even remotely capable of getting her through this; of being the kind of person that if she so chose to go somewhere for a few days alone, or she and her brother need to take on the task of dealing with their mothers material possesions, she could count on Brad to take care of the homefront. She has someone she can truly depend on at what has to be the most sad time of her life and it really feels like divine intervention at work.

I’m sure Angelina knows her fans support her. We like everyone else should give her family some space. I don’t want to hear anything about Angelina or the passing of her mother by news outlets that have no reason to put this news up. I don’t want it to be discussed on The View, or other entertainment shows or tabloids. It’s not news to the general public. Her fans know where to get news. American serviceman/women passed as well over the weekend. That is more relavent news.
Wings Of The Angels
by Tim Chambers
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother’s name.
Left behind, the children’s tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother’s sent.
On angel’s wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God’s love, ’tis but the dawn.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Our love, thoughts, and prayers to Angelina, James, Brad, Mad, Z, and Shiloh…..
My heartfelt condolence to Angelina and her family. May god bless Marcheline and her soul may rest in peace. She’s in heaven now.

Let it go for now ok? Jennifer Aniston has nothing to do with this unless people chose to bring her into it.
Thank you for the address.
